Your Massachusetts Wrongful Death Claim
In Massachusetts, the decedent’s estate has three years from the time of death or from the time of discovery that a wrongful death occurred to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the liable parties. Husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and parents are given priority when filing a wrongful death claim. If the deceased left behind no immediate family members, then brothers, sisters, grandchildren, and other relatives may file for damages.
Wrongful death recovery in Massachusetts can include compensation for the deceased’s medical and funeral expenses and any pain and suffering the victim may have experienced prior to death. Plaintiffs may also file to recover wrongful death compensation for their pain and suffering, loss of financial support, companionship, and guidance, and other associated losses. The kind of (and percentage amount) of recovery that each plaintiff can receive depends on their biological relationship to the deceased.
Our Boston wrongful death lawyers can begin investigating the circumstances surrounding your loved one’s death immediately. Altman & Altman LLP will also interview witnesses and all negligent parties. Depending on the specifics of your Massachusetts wrongful death case, we can work with experts, such as accident reconstruction experts, human factors engineers, product design experts, forensic pathologists, OSHA experts, construction site experts, economists, and medical specialists to begin gathering, preserving, and examining the evidence.
